How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.0 lttng-modules to version 2.10.0-5.6.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream lttng-modules package and not the lttng-modules package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

The spectre_v2_select_mitigation function in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.c in the Linux kernel before 4.18.1 does not always fill RSB upon a context switch, which makes it easier for attackers to conduct userspace-userspace spectreRSB attacks.
